Treasury warrant to the Customs Commissioners to
deliver to Edward Bird the King's part only of a
seizure of lace, the officer who seized the same being
to retain his part thereof; it appearing from the
said Commissioners' report of Aug. 20 last on
Bird's petition that he is the first and only manufacturer of English Points and doth now employ
many hundreds of his Majesty's subjects in Blandford and other parts of the West of England in
making Points and bone lace which the petitioner
had brought to great perfection and in a short time
will be as good as any brought from France and
Italy; further that for encouraging the said manufacture he is forced to have several patterns from
France and other parts abroad and has lately sent
for some patterns to the value of about 40l. which
were seized at Dover and condemned; that the
petitioner deals for several thousand pounds per an.
in English Points and laces and it cannot be presumed that the points and laces now seized were
brought over for advantage, that being to destroy
his own manufacture, which with encouragement
herein will daily increase to the relief of some
thousands of his Majesty's poor subjects and augment
his Majesty's Customs upon thread. The lace
was found concealed under ballast in the pacquet
boat and was appraised at 56l. 12s. 10½d. |

Recovery of that port, Thomas Smith master, from
Maryland with a lading of tobacco; and that as the
ship is leaky and infirm the master has petitioned
the Lord Deputy for leave to discharge there without
coming to England to enter and that this liberty
is granted on their paying English duty with the
exchange. The Treasury Lords have represented
this matter to the King, who has expressly signified
his pleasure that he will always have the Plantation
ships first come into England according to law and
as to this particular case his Majesty will by no
means comply therewith, but will have the law
duly observed in bringing the ship and her lading
to England. Please signify this to the Lord Deputy. |

The Treasury Lords to Thomas Riddell, Justice of
the Peace, at his house near Hexham ("Haxsom")
in Northumberland. The collector of Berwick port
has sent to the Customs Commissioners your warrant
for the restitution of some cloth, sacking and yarn
seized by Thomas Ord and Gilbert Swinhoe, Customs
officers of Berwick port. The said Commissioners
think this a very illegal practice which may prove
of very ill consequence to the King's service. We
have represented it to the King and are commanded
to signify to you his pleasure that you forthwith
deliver said goods to said collector to be prosecuted
by law. Fail not as you will answer the contrary.

Appending: said paragraph. The stewardships of
manors within said Duchy, being granted during
pleasure before the birth of the Prince, are now
void [thereby]. It is necessary that they be renewed
within a month after Michaelmas, otherwise the
revenue will suffer for want of stewards to swear
homage and of juries to make enquiries and presentments; and the tenants will suffer for want
of Courts for making surrenders and being admitted
to their estates. |
|

Same to Mr. Nicho. Sugar. The Treasury Lords

Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the
petition of John Kroger and Mathew Yates, owners
of the ship Delight of London; petitioners setting
forth that said ship was bought of the Swedes
by Thomas Sutton for said Kroger and other the
King's subjects and in 1674 a royal warrant was
granted for making it free, but the warrant was
omitted to be entered and registered at the Custom
House as not very necessary at that time by reason
the said ship was constantly employed in importing
iron; but said owners now design to employ her
in the Eastland and other trades and therefore
desire a confirmation of said royal warrant "as
was lately done to others in the like case." |
Warrants not Relating to Money XII, pp. 352–3. |
|
Hereon the Treasury Lords report that they
have referred same to the Customs Commissioners
and fully agree with their report thereon as follows. |

|
Appending: said report, dated Custom House,
Aug. 31 last. The Delight of London was formerly
called the Pallace of London, 260 tons burthen.
Petitioners are the true owners and no foreigner
has any part in her. We have nothing to object
against the confirming the said warrant and the
registering of her as a free ship of this kingdom
provided Customs be first paid according to the
value of said ship. |

the Earl of Shaftesbury, and being impoverished
thereby ran in arrear to the King as customer of
Poole and Weymouth, was arrested and died in
prison and petitioner's husband was also arrested
and died in 1685, though he was always loyal and
opposed the traitorous design of the Exclusion:
the Customs Commissioners having reported Aug. 27
last that petitioner's statements are true and that in
regard of her utter poverty they have no objection
to discharge said bond. |
